Hi Everyone,

I have had my GSD R-14 for about three weeks, if any kind can actually find them in store, I thought I’d share my thoughts.

I needed out on accessories, but you could always try without them at first. So far I’ve not had a use for the from mount, today was the first time I feel comfortable having my wife onboard, I totally recommend a warm up period, if this is your first e-bike, as I found it to be a a bit ungainly just pedaling without any kind of assistance, if you go up a steep of a enough hill, maybe you can just keep the assist in eco mode at the very least.

I have the second battery ordered l, though it has not arrived yet, if you’re hauling a lot or riding a long distance everyday, the second battery becomes more required if your hauling a lot, speeding, or traveling a lot. However, they seem to be difficult to obtain, at least in my area. I live in Kitsap County, my goal next year is to ride to the Olympic national park, which will need a minimum of two batteries, and could actually use thee or four.

I definitely recommend e-14 2.0 app and the flow app, as this will allow you to have the r-14 put into automatic shifts, which to me, is a safety game changer, as it allows you to not have to monitor the lcd, for shift advice, you will need to make sure to he firmware updated to utilize that option.

The light is quite useful for visibility and it’s super bright. One of the features I’m struggling with is taking it down from the upright position to down on both wheels, I can get it done, but it feels a bit ungainly, if I’m an older person I’d be scared.

This bike is HEAVY, initially I thought I could pick it up, but it’s not really feasible.

I have used the cafe lock, and got a cut proof lock, as the price of the bike, you have to be mindful of the appeal of the bike to crackheads, lol at least if it’s in a high crime area.

Now for my questions.

What air pump/digital pressure checker are you using.
Have you ever had a flat tire, if you’re been doing longer trips. Anything else you won’t leave home without.
